I think that Casey and Mason are heading towards getting everything dismissed so then she can sue Florida for keeping her in jail when she was "innocent"...she will get millions and pretty soon and a key to the city

<snipped>The decision to file for bankruptcy does not mean Anthony's state court legal issues go away immediately. Attorneys for Zenaida Gonzalez - and others making claims against Anthony - would have to prove to a federal judge the damages they seek are "nondischargeable," meaning she would owe money despite the bankruptcy filing.

Additionally, according to the bankruptcy documents filed, the possible financial claims against Anthony include:

Anthony's total assets, according to the 60-page filing are listed at less than $1,100 and her liabilities total more than $792,119.

"All the civil cases and people making potential claims have put her (Casey) in a position where bankruptcy is the only option," says Greene.

The bankruptcy documents list nearly 100 names and organizations that could potentially pursue claims against Anthony. Many of the names included are the defense experts who testified on her behalf during her murder trial.

"The public doesn't know all the people who have come out of the crawl spaces attempting to make claims against Casey," said Greene. "There are other lawsuits, other potential claims and her freedom is restricted."

Those individuals and organizations listed in the bankruptcy document would have to file a claim in federal court in order to get money from Casey Anthony.

Ultimately, that means a bankruptcy judge could be the person who decides the merits of the civil cases against Anthony.<snipped>

::snipping2::Bankruptcy motive questionedAnthony sought Chapter 7 protection in a federal court in Tampa on Friday, soon after the appeals court ruling.Such a filing is meant to allow one to do away with most existing debts and make a fresh start financially.In the documents, Anthony says she owes almost $800,000 to about 80 creditors, and she has no income.She is also defending herself against several civil lawsuits, including a defamation suit from Zenaida Fernandez-Gonzalez, who claims Anthony ruined her reputation. ::snipping2::Gonzalez's attorney, Matt Morgan, told CNN affiliate Central Florida News 13 he believes the bankruptcy filing is an attempt to postpone the case."This most recent filing appears to be yet another calculated delay tactic," Morgan said. "We are not deterred and will stay the course."But an attorney for Anthony told the affiliate his client is distraught that she can't pay her legal fees."To some extent she feels, she feels bad that she's having to have all these legal services provided to her and she is unable to compensate anyone," Andy Chmelir said. "So she wants closure more than anything else." ::snipping2::What she has and what she owesAnthony listed about $1,000 in personal property, according to court documents obtained by News 13.

There is a hoax on facebook regarding a new book and movie deal for Casey. Don't know how to post it here. I have saved it if someone would like for me to send it to them. Why would you want to post a link to an FB hoax here? It's okay if you want to send it to someone that asks for it, but please don't post it here. Why give hoaxers the traffic? MB

Was there ever a full accounting of how much money the state of Florida provided her for her defense? IIRC, that money was supposed to mostly pay for her defense, both attorneys and experts. They are doing nothing more now than they have been doing all along, they're just a bit more brazen about it, they will never stop scamming the system. Or the people of Florida. The claim that "to some extent she feels bad", that's the best her professional liar personal lawyer can say? To no extent does she feel anything for anyone other than herself. Somebody needs to step up and hold her and her entire illegal team responsible for something.

PAll this attention/ drama her attys are creating! Seem to be in their best interest! Meaning that from a potential new clients perspective! They are going to all kinds of lengths to help their client! And thus maybe someone out there needing an atty! Will be impressed with all their efforts to help their client! Could say hummmmm I like that! It could drum up lots of business for them.
